Broadband single-carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) uplink using frequency-domain square-root Nyquist filtering is considered. The peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of filtered SC signals can be reduced by increasing the filter roll-off factor α. Furthermore, an additional frequency diversity gain can be obtained by making use of the excess bandwidth introduced by the transmit root Nyquist filtering. However, if the carrier-frequency separation is kept the same as in the case of α=0, the adjacent users' signal spectra overlap with the desired users' spectrum and the multiuser interference (MUI) is produced. In this paper, we propose two frequency-domain iterative MUI cancellation schemes which can achieve the frequency diversity gain through spectrum combining. The achievable bit error rate (BER) and throughput performances are evaluated by computer simulation.

In this paper, we propose an iterative minimum mean square error detection with interference cancellation (MMSED-IC) for frequency-domain filtered single carrier (SC)-frequency-division multiple-access (FDMA) uplink transmission. The use of a square-root Nyquist transmit filter reduces the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) while increases the frequency-diversity gain. However, if carrier-frequency separation among multiple-access users is kept the same as the one used for the case of roll-off factor α=0 (i.e., brick-wall filter), then the adjacent users' spectra will overlap and multi-user interference (MUI) occurs. The proposed MMSED-IC can sufficiently suppress the MUI from adjacent users while achieving the maximum frequency-diversity gain. We apply the proposed MMSED-IC to a packet access using filtered SC-FDMA, multi-input multi-output (MIMO) multiplexing, and hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ). It is shown by computer simulation that filtered SC-FDMA with α=1 can achieve higher throughput than orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA).
